I got an un-due excessive noise fine, becuase i took off fast, and the cop thought i was "chirping" my wheels when it was the flutter... Tried to explain, but oh well.
Got very very lucky i believe.....
Berny is right, they can sticker you for absolutly anything they want. The leather on your steering wheel peeling off, if your ash tray is full... anything at all.
Best thing to do is "yes officer... no officer, i understand officer, thank you"
As much as it sucks, being truthful, calm and in some cases, forcing yourself to agree with them can only help...
Good lcuk mate. Yellows lick testicles... not in the good way....
